Sawtooth grain beetles are insects that are usually found in flour, sugar, nuts, seeds and dried fruit. Adult sawtooth grain beetles are about 1/10th of an inch long and are dark brown in color. They are characterized by a row of six saw-like projections on each side of their backs which can be seen using a magnifying glass.
“ I wanted to write to say how impressed I am with your entire crew and the general way you operate. Everyone who entered my home was sympathetic, sensitive, competent, and respectful. I think what stands out was the way your company understood, and expressed in its own way, the psychological damage that bed bugs inflict.

“ I called American Pest because of an ant problem but they wound up treating so much more. Great conversation with the main office and the tech who came to the house was incredibly punctual, courteous, extremely knowledgeable/excited about his work. Happy to say I no longer share the house with ants or any other insects!”
